Reddit reviews Vegan Lunch Box: 130 Amazing, Animal-Free Lunches Kids and Grown-Ups Will Love!

Falafel pitas. In fact, anything pita is a sure-fire hit. Hummus is a classic, but nearly as certain a thing.
My kids are incredibly of veggie platters with fresh vegetables and fruit, but YMMV greatly.

Scandinavian-style open sandwiches with ultra-wholegrain rye is what kids eat more or less every day here in Denmark, and there are many many options for meals tucked away in there - tomato/cucumber sandwiches, cream cheese, the list goes on. Hell, my son eats salad sandwiches - as in, leaves of salad as the main ingredient.
SOUP! A great winter favourite here is potato and Jerusalem artechoke, sprinkled with a bit of thyme and roasted sunflower seeds. Drool.
Samosas and other filo-pastry constructions are awesome. Tempura'd veggies can also have that junk-appeal while being really quite healthy.
Different kinds of veggie patés can be made in bulk and used as a spread with tons of umami.

- all worthy investments - hell, they show up as "frequently bought together" as a big lovely set.

BUT I will say that the best best best way to approach this, and the one that will really make things cool is to engage the parents of these children in a dialogue about their children's diet.

She goes 2 days a week and the menu repeats, so I don’t have too many meals to recreate.

Today’s school menu was a bean and cheese roll up, green beans, apple sauce and 2% milk.

I made a bean roll up (home made refried beans, brown rice, quinoa, salsa), green beans with nooch, applesauce and pea milk.

I bought this book awhile back. It’s has lots of fun ideas, nothing earth shattering, but it helps me plan her meals at home and school. She also likes looking at the pictures and helping to pick out her meals

I'd like to recommend a couple useful books:

http://www.amazon.com/Raising-Vegetarian-Children-Health-Harmony/dp/0658021559/ - my favorite

http://www.amazon.com/Better-Than-Peanut-Butter-Jelly/dp/1590131223/ - kid-friendly recipes

http://www.amazon.com/Vegan-Lunch-Box-Animal-Free-Grown-Ups/dp/1600940722/ - great lunch ideas

http://www.amazon.com/Vegan-Lunch-Around-World-International/dp/0738213578/ - ditto

http://www.amazon.com/Raising-Vegan-Children-Non-Vegan-World/dp/0972510206/ - may also be helpful, but personally I found it quite preachy and medically inaccurate at times
